Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel "Are You My Mother?", paying particular attention to the ways in which the act of reading is expressed in the novel. The essay reflects on the comic book as a medium in which the act of reading does not lose its critical, intertextual nature, while at the same time, its assumes – as an element of the story being presented – an everyday, practical, fabular dimension. The author examines the use of quotes in the book, reflecting on their inter-media character – in accordance with the thesis that in comics one draws words rather than writes them.
